The battle of Austerltz was fought
on December 2, 1905. Early in 1906
peace was made by the treaty OF Pres

to occupy himself in consolidating his
influence in Germany by founding the
Confederation of the Rhine. 1t was at
this time, in the year 1906. when he

of his fortunes. that the portrait by

ALL ABOUT CALICO.
Introduction of the Fabric from India

Into Holland ami Great Britain.
The derivation of this word is very
interesting, rs of such an ancient date
is its origin. Mrs. Leonowens saws in
her travels in India that "in the
year 1893, just ten months and two
days after leaving the port of Lisbon,
Vasco da CANA landed on the coast of
Malabar ut Cllicut, or more properly

Below the space begins to broaden INTO
an ovoid shape until it has assumed
the shape and form of the interior OF

cone with long stem. At the bottom
many feet below the mouth
lies round stone OF greal
density, surrounded and often
covered with very fine sand, which
nartakes of the nature of the rocky
walls about it. The belief and theory
of the natives and those visitors who
have gone many miles through these
almost painless wilds to see them Is
that when this part of the world was
covered with water, many centuries
past. large rocks or stones of grea
density had been carried by the flooC
and deposited upon these stones, whose
concave crowns having created a sor
of whirlpool by the resistance OF thu
outer walls or ri%s, sent the dense
rocks in a whirl and constant grint
until they had worn themselves down
into the bosom of the larger stones
As the depth increased II correspond
ing resistance ensued, causing the re
volving stones, by their increasin!
velocity, to grind further into the side
of the walls until they had worn then
into the shape above described.
Measurements were made by sevcra
visitors short time ago and the shap
of each cavity was exactly the same il
form, only differing in size in propol
ton to the round dense stone lying a
the bottom. In all instances the nee
of the oyoid-shaped hole was the meres
tritle larger in diameter than the roun
stone. Several efforts were made t
get one of the round stones out of il
resting place and to the surface, BIT
the attempts always failed.

CLIPPING AND FILING.
How the Forgers of the Past Defaced tho
Coin of the Realm.

Coin of the Realm.
Milling the edge of our gold and
silver coins, termed also "graining"
and "crenating," first employed in
1916, to prevent their being injured by
wear, and more especially by being
clipped by rogues, is q hint taken from
the ancient Syrians and Romans, who
treated their coins similarly and for
like reasons, by cutting out regular
notches round the border, so rs to show
the inside of the metal. But the old
forgers were not to be so easily beaten,
and made corresponding missions in
their copper limitations, plating them
over with silver. Ginning.
filing and sweating coins-that is. i'm
mcrsing them in some strong acid that
will eat away the surface, thus causing
them to lose their weight, and conse
qnently their value-are among the
clumsier lodges; while the plan of coy
ering pieces of iron, lead, copper and
other metal, cut to the size and shape
OF the coin to be initiated, with a thin
plate OF gold or silver neatly stamped
and soldered at til" edges, which can
only be detected by weight and sound,
calls for greater degree of skill and
manipulation. BY law of the En-
peror Constantine false coiners were
declared guilty of high treason and
condemned to be burned alive; by the
law of Athens, all counterfciters, de-
basers and administers of the cur
rent com were subjected to cap

own country these oflenses are
deemed high treason, and not only
